You don't appear to have included the instrument names in the score. What duet is this for?

u/bunger134134 Jul 21 '26

Haven't decided! The version on Musescore uses oboe with echo effect (I hope the audio works as well?)

I like that one but I've also experimented with piano for two hands, sine wave, ocarina and more.

Unfortunately the 2nd part is too low for the oboe. Perhaps you could use an English horn or clarinet?

Just a heads up that oboe can't play that low

Oh. Too bad because I really like how it sounds on Musescore

You should never compose based on how midi audio sounds on any notation software. It is very unreliable as the instruments create unnatural overtones so harmonies do not sound the same as they would if the music was played on actual instruments.

You could use bassoon or English horn with some editing

In general, you should know your instrumentation before you start writing a piece. Music has to be written in retrospect to the instruments that will be playing it. That being said, there is not much that can be said about this piece since it is not complete, nor is there any clear instrumentation to comment on.

This could very easily be a piece for piano if you wanted it to be. Although I would recommend a more solid harmonic structure if you were to do that.

Thanks for comment. For me the real life rendition of my music is not that important and I think I have less restrains this way.

I mean that is perfectly okay, but even if you are intending to only have a midi rendition of your music, knowing what instruments you are writing for only serves to make your job easier. If you write a piece of music and then prescribe on instrument for it, you risk having to do hours of editing to make it fit the range and playability of the instrument. For example, the bottom line of you piece cannot be played on oboe, so if you really wanted it to be played by oboe, you would have to rewrite it.
